Special feature at this screening

Strange creatures! Unbelievable worlds! Shadow puppetry has the ability to suspend disbelief in people of all ages–not to mention transcend the boundaries of interstellar space and time. Play with sci-fi and space-themed shadow puppets by local puppet artist Nyssa Collins at the movie.

This shadow puppet theater is part of a month-long series of pop-ups held by Raleigh Arts to promote the draft Public Art Plan and gather feedback. You can learn more and share your feedback at publicinput.com/PublicArtPlan.

Where do I park? Can I bring my dog? How about picnics? What happens if it rains? For answers to these questions and others, see our 2022 Movie Policies.
